Orange is the new Black | San Jose Boudoir Photography

Boudoir Coterie Portrait photographyEarlier this week a friend told me about Netflix’ new series “Orange is the new Black” and I’m totally hooked. While the “orange” referenced in the show title is orange prison jumpsuits, it’s inspired me to think more about the color in general fashion.

Up until earlier this year, my wardrobe had barely any orange that I can recall. That all began to change after Christmas when I had a VISA gift card burning a hole in my pocket, and I was really in need of a new wallet. I found a super cute Kate Spade “grown up” wallet (you know the kind that fits a checkbook and more than five cards?) on clearance and had to have it. The wallet came in deep purple and bright orange, and though I was initially attracted to the purple, I waited too long laboring over my decision, and ended up having to get the orange.

As it turns out, the wallet was just the beginning. Over the last few months I’ve picked up quite a few orange pieces, including a bright orange bathing suit cover up and soft orange and cream striped top.

It also seems like my closet isn’t the only one that’s suddenly increasingly orange. Recently all of the Coterie staff were together in the studio and most of us were wearing some kind of orange. It seems to be everywhere this summer!

Anyway, I was browsing online for fun boudoir lingerie and found some really cute orange pieces. Are you daring enough to give this hot color a try? Check out some inspiration below.

My Mom | San Jose Beauty & Glamour Photography

Last month my mom came to town to help me out after my jaw surgery. We had a fantastic visit… with a few shopping trips(I now ♥ Macy’s) and of course my boys were thrilled to get to spend so much time with “Gramma from Canada”. 🙂

While she was here we also spent a little time in the studio doing a shoot to celebrate the fact that she is turning 60 this year! Wow, how the years have flown by! I got to play with her hair and makeup like a little girl dressing up her mommy, except I kinda know what I am doing and didn’t smear her face with red lipstick. *snort* She seemed to be having so much fun in front of the camera, too. There were lots of laughs and even a wonderful lunch at a Chinese restaurant around the corner from the studio in downtown San Jose. It was a wonderful mother/daughter day, if I do say so myself! She was thrilled to have some beautiful images to take home with her and I am thrilled to have some beautiful images of her for myself.

So here she is, my lovely mother, Dorothy (thanks for letting me share these, mom)! ♥
